  intro: "Every body moisturiser contains roughly the same three things: a humectant to pull water toward the skin, an emollient to soften the surface, and some kind of occlusive film to hold it all in place. What changes between a lotion, a cream, and a butter is the ratio. Lotion is mostly water, which means it spreads fast, absorbs quickly, and feels like nothing under clothes. Butter is mostly oil and wax, which means it sits on the surface for longer and does most of its work while you sleep. Cream lives between them. None of these is categorically better — they're tools for different moments. The question is what your skin tends to feel like, when, and how quickly you need to get dressed.",

    body: "Every moisturiser works in three layers: the humectant layer (glycerin, hyaluronic acid) attracts water from the air and the deeper layers of skin toward the surface. The emollient layer (oils, fatty acids) fills in the spaces between surface cells and softens what you can feel. The occlusive layer (shea, petrolatum, wax) sits on top and slows water from leaving. Lotion has a thin occlusive layer. Butter has an almost entirely occlusive base. Cream is the midpoint.",
